Prague Prague’s castles, chateaux and gardens offer abundant inspiration for a romantic proposal. Whether you tour Prague in a horse-drawn carriage or dine in a Gothic vaulted cellar, your Prague break will be pure romance. Begin your break in Prague with an evening cruise on the Vltava River. Break for a charming dinner in an intimate eatery looking across the river, an atmospheric vaulted cellar restaurant in the Old Town or request a table with a castle view. Book advance tickets for
The Marriage of Figaro at Prague's State Opera. Lastly, break open a bottle of local Bohemian Sekt sparkling wine atop Petrín Hill, beside Prague's Eiffel-Tower model and scented rose gardens.
